you need to give me more info, but if you run into one for sale chances are excellent is a KNOCK-OFF or a parts assembly, not a fantastic deal from some guys garage, simply because of the limited numbers produced, the short production run, and a high mortality rate plus they are 40 year old engines.
BTW if you do decide to build a 302 displacement engine, getting the engine compression up in the 11.5:1 range and using some mildly ported vortec heads, with bigger valve springs, better clearance, and 1.6:1 roller rockers, with a matching vortec single plane intake and a crane 110921 flat tappet solid lifter cam,and a manual transmission, with a 3.9:1-4.56:1 rear gear ratio, and a good 7-8 quart baffled oil pan has repeatedly proven to make a decent combo in a fairly light car

if the original intakes on the engine

1967-68 3917610 302
1969 3932472 302

heads
1967.. 3890462 302,327 2.02 1.6

3956618....350.....69....2 or 4

or if the heads are off push the piston down to BDC and measure the bore depth
3.00"=302
3.25"=327
3.48"=350
